Hi, I got another hang on another machine with the same symptoms. 1- dpkg-query is stuck in R state with a RSS of 1405M (or 1409). 2- the process is not killable 3- the process eats all cpu (load was near 75) 4- strace on the process shows nothing (no syscall waiting) 5- One cannot halt the machine (must push the power button to stop it) The problem happened on 1- an U60 with 1.5Go of ram and 2 Uii at 300Mhz. 2- a SUN Blade 2000 with 4Go of RAM and 2 Uiii at 900Mhz. In each case, the problem happened at the same place : When building a Mono packages, at the dh_shlibdeps -s stage when building the packages. The hangs is not fully reproductible but if it happens, it's there. It's like the process cause an infinite loop in the kernel.
